Hi, 
I tried upgrading the packages:

xorg
xorg-docs
xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg-core
xserver-xorg-input-all
xserver-xorg-video-all

to unstable, nothing changed. Then I tried also using:

linux-image-2.6.22-2-686

again the same result, the problem is still there (same output from 
xdpyinfo as before, and same giant fonts in gdm). 

I also noticed that movies played using xine get deformed, they are 
narrow and very stretched in height, this problem might be caused by the
same issue which causes gdm fonts to be giant, I will try to verify this
as soon as I can. 

Cheers, 
Giacomo
